What sets us apart

For the past 27 years ITexpress has provided IT Support and Technology Servcies to many businesses within the Goole and Howdenshire area. Being so local to all three of Screetons offices means we can respond very quickly to any IT problems your team may experience.

ITexpress is a multi talented company with a selection of products and services ideally suited to small and medium businesses. Not only do we provide excellent IT support and infrastructure services but also provide website design, and paid media marketing, as well as more bespoke services such as software development and help with accounting and payroll software.

 

The advent of Artificial Intelligence has brought considerable change to the way people find information and engage with businesses. ITexpress is at the forefront of this knowledge having already created applications which harness this technology, allowing us to help businesses like Screetons navigate and prosper through this change.

ITexpress simply focus on value and service. Just as Screetons have built a reputation for great customer service for the last 60 years, ITexpress also values long term customer relationships and our team of five experts work hard to help each and every customer get more from their IT systems.

Timelines & Milestones
We always start with a review. It helps both you and ourselves understand where your data is stored, what software programs you use and the capabilities of the hardware. In many cases it is hard to recommend a way forward when we don’t know where you are.

An IT review lets us both have a better picture and then the way forward is usually easy to plan. The initial review allows us to:
- Look at the hardware capabilities
- Ensure all data is where is should be and backed up
- All software programs you use are documented and licenses retrievable
- Anti Virus and security software checked
- Printers and other devices also checked for compatibility
Once we have conducted the review we can work together for next steps depending on the recommendations we have made vs your current business objectives.

We have ascertained that only one PC from the 11 has Microsoft Windows 11 and all the others have Windows 10 installed. Microsoft has stopped providing any security updates and patches for windows 10 so we recommend that those PC’s are replaced in a timely manner and we will work out a timetable for this.

The addition of digital signatures can be done by paying a per document fee to adobe and we can help setup this for you or explore other options. This is a solution we helped a large employment agency implement and it works well for all of there employment contracts and legal right to work procedures they need to conduct.
Being so local means we can work quickly. Within a few days of agreement we will be able to conduct the review of the three offices, and following that we can report back and prioritise the issues already highlighted by Lisa and your team.

Lisa reported that she struggled sometimes with opening documents or websites with the PC sometimes hanging or not loading at all. The accounts PC was also noted as being extremely slow to startup so these might be the first issues to resolve.

It was noted that the backup system is an external drive which is used each Friday. We haven’t noted any backup procedure in either Goole or Thorne and this would be a priority for us once the review is complete. One of the other milestones is to add the capability for your team to use digital signatures and this would also be addressed within the first week or two

When Dave Leake started Houses etc he was looking for a local IT provider to help him with his estate agency business. ITexpress helped Dave manage his team using Microsoft Office sharing calendars and collaborating with email. Houses etc used Jupix to upload pictures to the houses etc website and ITexpress helped him manage storage and backup of his pictures.

We also setup a viewing screen in the front of the office to show a presentation of the latest properties for sale. ITexpress provided IT support to Houses etc for over 10 years until Dave sold the business to Knights Property Management
